Should periorbital ecchymosis, due to a fall, be coded as 921.1 or 921.2?

Doctor explains that the patient has ecchymosis, periorbital, right side with extension toward the right frontal region.

I know that code 921.2 states Contusion of orbital tissues but I was thinking that maybe 921.1 was better since it includes the periocular area...
